Hello CCC

 Hey There -

My card for the Card Chain Challenge in July is going to England and my friend Hilary.  I am sending her a load of summery yellow.   

I am not a card planner naturally...meaning I don't plan them before getting started.  I will look at a challenge and see what the requirements are and then I just go.  So sometimes a card emerges that is totally not my usual style like this one, but I like it.

 
I went with the sketch and the colors somewhat, the peach is hard to find but is in between the rays.  That sweet little lighthouse is from Heffy Doodle, the sentiment is from CTMH and I used various dies from SSS, MFT, and NND. The rays stencil is from Tim Holtz, and I used Hero arts inks.

Thanks for visiting.
